You might run into issues with the Police if the car you bought was stolen or has some kind of stories behind it due to the tampered VIN.
I've read cases where Police used scanner to compare VIN on the body and the ECU.
You might need to do an affidavit to drive the car with peace of mind.
The Accent should be compared with a Yaris and not Corolla.

nothing like tampered VIN here. Previous owner replaced ECU and didn't overwrite the VIN of the new ECU with tgat of the car. Police with scanner? Impossible.

Naija Police with Scanner? I haven't seen one in my life even in Abuja. Although, i have seen VIO check your plate number to confirmed if u have renew your papers. Moreover, the sticker on the driver Side has the same VIN with that on the papers. Like someone said, "Previous owner replaced ECU and didn't overwrite the VIN of the new ECU with that of the car" just that i had an experience yesterday, after an electrician work on the car, trying to fix my reverse light/camera the car doesn't accelerate when u press down the pedal(the car moves slowly in DRIVE and doesnt accelerate at all). when scanned i got an error of P2128, P0121,P0122,P0222,P2122,12127. Throttle position(TP) Sensor B/ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SWITCH A - LOW INPUT..... SENSOR B CIRCUIT LOW INPUT. Am yet to fix it as at the time of posting this

Hi, were you able to solve the intermittent stops in motion of the Elantra yet

MissDigit:
Please guys I recently bought an Hyundai Elantra 2013 towards last year and it’s been giving me lots of problems. Sometimes the car turns off while I’m in motion and sometimes the car jerks. I have tried fixing the issues with some mechanic but it seems like it’s not getting better. Very recently after a mechanic helped me with the jerking problem, I noticed my fuel gauge doesn’t work well anymore. No matter the amount of fuel I buy, it just keeps showing that it’s on “reserve” and doesn’t move more than one bar. Please I need a trusted recommendation for a good Hyundai mechanic. The whole thing is frustrating me at this point. Kindly help drop details of any good Hyundai mechanic you know and have worked with before.

Thank you in advance for your help😢

What's the determining factor for choosing it?
Price?

I wouldn't encourage you to buy it because it's cheap especially for a 1st time .
I'd rather encourage you buy any popular brand with enough mechanic and parts available in your area until you're comfortable with owning a car (enough hands-on experience) then you can switch to any brand you fancy.
But please go for prepurchase inspection with a qualified technician regardless of what you choose eventually.

Hi everyone, please Hyundai sonata 2015, 2016 is it safe to buy for a first timer. Is the GDI engine thing that common considering it’s what is really moving now in the market? Please I need your knowledge and experiences please. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

The engine on paper is a great one with a perfect blend of power and fuel economy. However, you'd have to thread carefully when buying one (especially if it's the Turbo 2.0 engine). If it's Nigerian used and has done over 40,000 miles on Nigerian soil, you might need full service history from the owner to be sure if it was properly maintained (that engine is not cheap to purchase) or you avoid it entirely.

Thank you boss for the response, really appreciate it. One last thing please. I intend to get a Toks with below 60k miles, are they two different type of engine for the car? If the 2.0 is problematic, is the other better or worse please? Thank you in advance

1st, the milage is rubbish (high or low) if car was poorly maintained (Toks or local used) you'd need to run a VIN check and have a technician physically inspect for you. You can reach me on 07089030689 for inspection if in Lagos.
The 2.0T engine is not a death sentence as it were, but it's a general rule in the auto world that Turbocharger with GDI mix is not a perfect combination. It is absolutely sweet when it works though.
If you're good with preventive maintenance, then you should be fine.
In all, those cars made for Korean markets then to be well built that the ones built for American market (my take though).

Hello guys, can anyone tell me about Hyundai Santa Fe 2012 model. I want to get a car for my dad and I am seriously considering the car since the price of a Toyota these days is crazy. 2010 Toyota Highlander is being quoted for 16-19m by most vendors so I am just looking for a cheaper alternative. The Hyundai Santa Fe looks appealing to me and fits well with my budget. I’m buying it tokunbo. So any information about the car regarding reliability, durability and service cost will be appreciated. Thanks.

Where would your dad be using the car? Availability of spare parts and technicians should be your 1st priority.

I plan on getting a car that's fuel efficient, and comfortable for everyday running around and using it for bolt/Uber comfort on weekends. Please Is the Hyundai a good choice? The sonata 2013 naija used looks good. But I don't know anything about the car. What's your advice/alternative recommendation
